Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Sublingual pain medications should be working well 15 to 30 minutes after administration, so the nurse should reassess the patient's pain at 10:30 A.M.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
A side effect of ibuprofen and other NSAIDs is the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding, especially with long-term use. Abdominal pain with pale skin in this patient may be indicative of a bleeding ulcer and should be reported to the physician promptly.
